What Is a Steel Mill?

Iron and steel plants are factories that produce iron and steel. Due to the weak foundation of modern iron and steel industry in old China, low output, few varieties, and poor quality; the sectoral structure and regional distribution were very uneven. In 1949, the steel output was only 153,800 tons, ranking 26th in the world.

Although China's steel output ranks first in the world, due to the insufficient quality of a considerable portion of steel, a large amount of high-quality steel is still imported each year, thus causing great waste. In addition, represented by Hebei Iron and Steel Group (71.1 million tons of steel output in 2012), it ranked second in the annual competitiveness of the world's steel companies in 2012. A total of 9 Chinese companies were listed in the top 20, with annual steel output far exceeding 10 million tons mark. Although after the elimination of backward production capacity and the merger and reorganization in China, the annual steel output of various steel groups has increased significantly, but because they do not have the right to speak the main raw material of steel-iron ore, China's steel companies are still in a big position on the international stage Strong weak position.
